To add to xafford's comment. When iterating a named node map collection using ->item() or using foreach, removing a attribute with DOMNode->removeAttribute() or DOMNode->removeAttributeNode() alters the collection as if it were a stack. To illustrate, the code below tries to remove all attributes from each element but only removes the first. One work around is to copy the named node map into an array before removing attributes. Using PHP 5.2.9 on Windows XP.

I stumbled upon a problem with DOMNamedNodeMap. If you iterate over a DOMNamedNodeMap, representing the attributes of a DOMElement with foreach and you use DOMElement::removeAttributeNode only the first attribute will be handled.

Example (not complete):

<?php

/*
* Imagine you got a node like this:
* <a onclick="alert('evil')" href="http://example.com">evil</a>
* and onclick should be removed, href would not be tested.
